I recall seeing one in KDE I think.
Under network tools or something like that.
I know that most of us are familiar with the command line tools that are
available for these tasks.
I only mentioned that Sam Spade was not available on *nix platforms because
that specific application
is only available on WINx OSs. Considering the current MAC OS (X) I think
only windows would require an app like that. HA HA
